Very slow Gameplay

User Rating: 3.5 | Mortal Kombat: Armageddon PS2
Creating a fighter is sort of fun even though all the characters in the new MK games look plastic compared to other 3D fighters. You can seriously tell that Midway did not work their best on this game at all. The game play is very slow, characters still fight exactly the same as they did in the first two. I did like Deadly Alliance when I got it for Christmas in 2002 but after playing Deception and Armageddon. Both games felt poorly developed. You get to choose from over 60 characters. Every MK character you can think of including several new ones are thrown into the mix. But this doesn't make it a good game just because there are a dozen fighters.

The problem with the game is not only the sorry graphics but also slow game play. Boring music, and of course every character performs the very same fatality. Konquest mood is cheesy and stupid, because your forced to play with the worst character in the game. A guy named Taven that barely has any moves at all. And yet your paired up against all the real MK characters that obviously beat the snot out of this guy.

You get two fighting styles this time, instead of three. Of course even though this MK has allot to offer its a rubbish fighting game.
3D fighting games were never good. I've always prefered 2D because its much more faster and easy to get into.

Mortal Kombat use to be a great video game back in the early 1990s. But the game has become lousy over the years. With all the changes the series has gone through I don't think Ed Boon and his team over at Midway studios care about the MK series anymore. Even the Narrator still sounds the same.

However creating a character can be slightly fun for the time being. You can give your warrior moves, and you can also name him/her, create a bio for them, and much more. The set up deffinatly feels like one of those WWE create a Wrestler features.

But all in all, MK is sure to please fans. Of course the game is far too slow for me. Sometimes I throw a punch and I just slow down. The also has air combos but I swear this doesn't make the game at all fun. Especially since the CPU will get a kick out of performing upper cut attacks constantly until you die.
